Meaningful Experiences with Horses in Orderville, Utah

At Rising Sun Horse Service, we offer a variety of horse-based programs designed to inspire growth, build confidence, and create joyful memories. Whether you’re seeking healing through equine-assisted learning, hands-on horsemanship training, or a fun family event, we have something special for every age and experience level.

Equine-Assisted Learning

Healing and Personal Growth Through the Power of Horses

Our equine-assisted learning sessions focus on emotional development and self-awareness. Participants work alongside a licensed therapist and a horse handler to build communication skills, reduce anxiety, and gain confidence—all through guided interaction with horses.

Each session is designed to meet personal goals in a safe, supportive environment. Horses naturally mirror human emotions, helping participants recognize and regulate their own feelings in real time. It’s a transformative experience that blends mindfulness, trust, and growth.

Horsemanship Lessons

Learn Skills, Build Confidence, and Connect Deeply

Our horsemanship lessons teach more than just riding—they teach understanding. Students progress through a structured curriculum that covers groundwork, grooming, saddling, riding, and horse care.

Every lesson emphasizes respect, patience, and partnership. Whether you’re brand-new to horses or experienced and wanting to refine your skills, we’ll help you grow at your own pace with gentle, well-trained horses and one-on-one instruction.

Pony Parties & Kids’ Events

Make Your Child’s Birthday Truly Unforgettable

Turn your child’s birthday into an adventure they’ll never forget! Our pony parties bring fun, safe, hands-on experiences with our friendly ponies. Kids can enjoy short, guided pony rides, learn simple grooming, and take plenty of photos to remember the day. We handle setup and supervision so you can relax and enjoy the celebration. Pony parties are available for birthdays, family gatherings, and small community events throughout the Orderville and Kanab areas.

Partnered Therapy Sessions

Collaborating with Local Mental Health Professionals

We proudly work with licensed therapists to integrate equine experiences into counseling and therapy. Clients can be referred directly through their therapist or contact us to get started. These sessions help individuals apply therapeutic principles in a calm, nature-based environment, supported by the intuitive presence of our horses. Our approach complements traditional therapy by engaging body, mind, and emotions in a way that words alone often can’t.

Group & Family Sessions

Strengthen Bonds and Build Teamwork

Our group and family sessions focus on communication, cooperation, and connection. Families, couples, or small groups work together through horse-guided exercises that reveal patterns of teamwork and trust. These experiences are uplifting, insightful, and often lead to meaningful breakthroughs that strengthen relationships both in and out of the arena.
